In its weather advisory issued at 4 a.m., the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said temperature may reach up to 38 degrees celsius in the country.
According to Pagasa, temperature as high as 35 degrees celsius may be felt across Metro Manila, while Baguio City may have 16 degrees celsius at some point until 4 a.m. Sunday.
